PARCC Informational Night
January 28, 2015
What is PARCC?
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for
College and Careers
� Computer Based Assessment
� Mathematics & Language Arts Literacy
� Based on Common Core Standards
� LPSD Grades 3-8
� Replaces NJASK
(Except grades 4 & 8 Science)
Overview
PARCC is an assessment system, common across
multiple states, that is designed to:
� Track college and career readiness
� Utilize multiple assessments throughout the
year
� Provide feedback to improve instruction
Common Core Standards
� New Jersey adopted the Common Core in June of
2010. This replaces the NJCCCS in math and ElA.
� The Common Core is a set of standards, not a
curriculum. They are used to design the when,
where, why, and how in curriculum.
� They are the bare minimum of what should be
covered by certain grade levels.
Why Did New Jersey
Adopt the Common Core?
� Preparation: The standards are college-and career-ready. They will help prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in education and training after high school.
� Competition: The standards are internationally benchmarked. Common standards will help ensure our students are globally competitive.
� Equity: Expectations are consistent for all.
� Clarity: The standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers know what they need to do to help students meet them.
� Collaboration: The standards create a foundation to work collaboratively across states and districts, pooling resources and expertise, to create curricular tools, professional development, common assessments, and other materials.
